This is the outfit that has become my everyday school uniform. In the fall my go to school outfit was jeans, a blouse, and blazer, but now that winter is in full effect in Chicago I have been wearing leggings, a ugly sweater, and sneakers. My love of ugly clothes is still going strong and I wanted to post a outfit wearing sneakers. I don't see a lot of fashion bloggers wearing sneakers, but I certainly think sneakers can be fashionable. I hope to show more outfits wearing them in the future.

The vest is something I picked up from Torrid on clearance in the summer of 2010 and it is one of my most loved pieces; I love the faded look it has gotten over the years. My favorite thing to do is to add some of different pins and brooches I collect to it. Two of my favorites right now are the African brooches I got from L L U L O. I love the statement the African American brooch makes. These brooches are good quality and they don't fall of my vest a lot. I did have to add some extra pins around the edges so it laid flat and didn't hang.

If you like these brooches you can enter to win one of your own. Just leave your regular comment along with your email and how you follow Fat Shopaholic and you are entered.

Oh and if you are in the market for new glasses I got these cat eye glasses for free from Costal Contacts using the code "firstpairfree".
